Amazing Apps: Jaha for Fitness Enthusiasts

For anyone looking to meet up with others in their area for sports and fitness activities, Jaha,
a new iOS app that launched
today, is the easiest way to bring people together. Jaha is a
location-based app that helps find others in the users’ neighborhood to
exercise, play a sport or work-out, together. With Jaha, it is easy to
find a running/hiking partner, a tennis game, a fourth
player for golf, a pick-up basketball/soccer/volleyball game, a
yoga/Pilates partner, or another person for any other sports and fitness
activity. Users fill out a profile section to identify their interests
and can interact with other people to connect to
participate in sports activities together. Jaha is the app where
fitness people meet.

Jaha for iOS is available for free on the App Store. The Android version of the app will be launching
later this year.

Jaha
delivers an easy-to-use, “fitness friend finder” that helps local
people of all sports and fitness levels connect, from the casual to the
serious sporting enthusiast. The app provides a fun way to experience
fitness,
combined with a simple interface. Users can chat with those they have
connected with via the app, create customizable challenges for friendly
competitions, and track their progress.

Users
connect via Facebook and can search for partners within a certain
distance, age range and gender, providing the perfect match for their
fitness needs.

With
many people exercising alone, Jaha provides a safer alternative, as
users can easily find others in their area with similar interests and
skill levels. For example, two people running together is safer than
running
alone, however many people may have a hard time finding someone to join
them on their workout, until now. With a range of up to 100 miles, it
is easy to find people close to a user’s home to join together. It is
also a motivational tool, as everyone connecting
via Jaha can encourage their new fitness partners to active and meet
their goals.

Jaha
also provides the user a wide range of fitness information and
resources such as the ability to track steps taken and distance
traveled, all viewable in the stats page of the app. Users can also set
daily goals based
on steps or distance and know where they stand at any time, as they try
to reach their goal. By competing with fitness friends via the app,
users can set challenge parameters to see who reaches the goal first and
message each other “to talk smack” on the
Smack Board and encourage each other to do their best.

The
app can track a users’ workout statistics and via Jaha’s proprietary
algorithm will suggest potential fitness friends nearby. Because these
statistics can’t be forged, Jaha ensures that matches are the real deal
and
are good “fits” for a user’s fitness level and interest.

To be able to track additional statistics, Jaha has teamed with its first hardware partners, SOUL, and
the company
plans to integrate with other popular fitness trackers such as Fitbit
and Jawbone to allow the millions of people using these devices to enjoy
the full features of the app, as well as connect with the people in the
area that use these various trackers.

About Jaha

Jaha
was founded with a mission to bring local people together through the
interest of fitness, hence the motto “Where fitness people meet.”
Stemming from problems in the market of mundane and non-social apps
tied to
fitness trackers to community driven apps that were only created for
hardcore users, Jaha was created to target casual fitness users to
enhance their “fitness life” experiences both on and offline. More
